My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?
We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.
Yes. Minus the scale, absolutely. It’s the tools that too big for the utensil drawer but too small to take up shelf space in a cabinet.
This. The scale is the only issue here, but it’s a big one lol
You’re the third person to be opposed to the scale that I’ve seen in this thread. This drawer is exactly where the scale lives in my house. TBH, the OP’s drawer looks a lot like mine.
Edit: I found a fourth
Fifth here. That scale doesn’t belong in the “awkwardly sized cooking utensils” drawer.
You see, there’s a journey of self discovery that every household goes through, and during that journey, it’s ok for the kitchen scale to go in different places. We’ve all been there, so no one is judging.
When the time is right, it will find its way to a shelf where it will live happily for the rest of its life.
Sixth. We keep the scale with baking supplies (measuring cups, flour, etc), since we mostly use it when making dough. Other than that, our drawer is nearly identical.
Seventh and we keep it in the same place as you and for the same reason.
Eighth. It belongs out on the counter where you use it constantly.
Ninth, we keep it with the mixing bowls.
I jest about the severity of course, but for me the scale is just too far from the shape of everything else in the drawer to belong there.
I feel loony for expressing this thought at all.
My scale lives happily in this drawer too
